Deaths in young people involved in the youth justice system: towards evidence-based prevention

少年犯有复杂的健康需求，由于吸毒过量、自杀和受伤，可预防死亡的风险大大增加。为了为有效预防提供信息，需要更详细地了解这些年轻人的死亡率。该项目将审查1993年至2015年期间昆士兰州少年犯的所有死亡情况，确定预防目标，并建议有证据支持并在文化上适当的政策改革和干预措施。

Young offenders have complex health needs and are at dramatically increased risk of preventable death due to drug overdose, suicide and injury. In order to inform effective prevention, a more detailed understanding of mortality in these young people is required. This project will examine all deaths in young offenders in Queensland from 1993 to 2015, identify targets for prevention, and recommend policy reforms and interventions that are supported by evidence and are culturally appropriate.
